Former Trump White House Lawyer Confirms He Quietly Sabotaged 2020 Election Challenge
In a court hearing regarding the de-barment of Jeffrey Clark, who played a key role in former President Donald Trump’s attempt to challenge the outcome of the 2020 election, former Deputy White House Counsel Patrick Philbin confessed to leading the resistance against the effort by organizing a mass resignation threat to undermine the president.
Just days before January 6th—when Congress was scheduled to certify the results of the 2020 election in Biden’s favor—Trump began to put into motion a plan to replace the Department of Justice head with Jeffrey Clark, a lower-level DOJ official who was expected to halt the process in Trump’s favor.
It was at this point that Philbin called up Clark to try to convince him otherwise. In his testimony—the first public testimony he has offered since the Capitol riot—Philbin explained that he had worked alongside Clark in private practice during the 1990s.
“I tried to explain to him that it was a bad idea for multiple reasons,” Clark said at the hearing. “He would be starting down a path of assured failure … If by some miracle somehow, it worked, there’d be riots in every major city in the country and it was not an outcome the country would accept.”

Dedicated shenanigans-deniers like to gloss over things like this: the myriad attempts to trip up Trump legally in his quest to have the 2020 election results questioned. This is only one of many instances of malicious interference. It's all there for those who open their eyes and see.
As for the "Get over it, already!" crowd: tell Hillary Clinton and Al Gore to get over it first, and when they finally concede there was never a problem with their elections, then you'll have the right to tell the Trump crowd to get over it.
